Rural Voices: Geoff Bowles

You may well be familiar with the iconic Jersey cow image on Ivy House Farm’s locally produced milk, cream and butter. In 1982 Geoff and Kim Bowles moved to Ivy House Farm in the small village of Beckington on the edge of Frome, and began farming a modest herd of Friesian cows.
